Chronology

Just like all east
German student unions, the Studierendenwerk Thüringen has an eventful past behind
it. The roots of the student unions reach back to the 1920s. After the second
world war, the predecessors of today’s student unions were closed. Yet from
1990 onwards, consistent restorations ofthe student unions in east Germany took place,the last of
which, in 2006, is responsible for the reestablishment of the Studentenwerk Thüringen. As of 13.07.16, Studentenwerk Thüringen has been renamed as
Studierendenwerk Thüringen according to an amendment of the ThürStudWG
law.

Students and college instructors found the
Hochschul-Wirtschafts-Genossenschaft Dresden as the first legitimately
independent organization in Germany dedicated to supporting students. It
later acquired the name Studentwerk Dresden.

1921Dresden becomes the seat of the Deutsches Studentenwerk. In the same
year, the “Verein Jenaer Stundentenhilfe” (“Jena Society of Student
Assistance”) is founded in Jena. It attends to the establishment of
student kitchens and has at its disposal a sales department, book
exchange and sewing and mending service.

1922The loan association of the Deutschen Studentenschaft (German Student
Body) is established. With the “mensa academica,” the first dormitory is
opened in Jena.

support organizations become offices of the central agency in Berlin.

1941The Reichsstudentenwerk becomes owner of the student dormitory in Jena.

American military. The “Jenaer Studentenhilfe G.m.b.H.” is created as
the legal successor of the Studentenwerk.
